    No More Roaming For TMHI

    Visible is Verizon's low cost plan. So, if you can get a Verizon signal, Visible works well.

    I had a 1960 Impala with a 283. Not much power, but it was a nice highway cruiser.

    Did the Chevy have a 409? First time I went over 100 mph was with a supped up 409. What a ride. Two lane road with the telephone poles flipping past really quick. Speedometer said 140 mph.

    What tools do you bring?

    For breaking loose the lug nuts when changing a tire, I carry a long breaker bar with the correct 1/2 inch socket. Other tools, minimum, are pliers, channel lock pliers, socket set, screw drivers, side cutters, and, yes, duct tape.

    Weight towards back on trailer.

    Assuming you have a travel trailer, you need to have a minimum of 10% of the trailer's weight on the hitch. You don't want the weight of the generator to change that.

    Hello y’all from North Carolina.

    Welcome to the Forum. I agree with TheBar that wintering in an RV is challenging. However, there are things you can do to your motorhome to make it more livable in the winter. YouTube has a lot of videos on what you need to do.

    Hello from Snowflake AZ

    Welcome to the Forum. As you found out, living in an RV usually requires some serious downsizing. I've had to haul water for mine during the winter when the city water is shut down. Feel free to ask questions. Lots of friendly knowledgeable members on this Forum.

    AC question

    If you have 2 air conditioners, your Tiffin most likely has a 50 amp electrical system. To run both air conditioners, you need a 240 volt outlet that breaks into two 120 volt leads into to the RV inlet. Thus, plugging your RV into a house/garage 120 volt outlet will only run one air conditioner...

    Wow. That's a lot of issues you are finding. You might consider whether or not it's worth continuing with your project. After spending a lot of money and time, you'll still have a 40 year old RV. And likely, will have spent more than you would for a newer, running RV with fewer problems...
